Spain: Campanar Flatland Contest by Alberto
by Martin
|
 The Campanar Flatland Contest took place in Valencia, Spain last weekend. Few pro riders came like Viki Gomez, Gilles van deSompel and Miguel Monzón. First day was more a show than a contest and the floor was too slipery. On the second day we put Coke in the floor and it griped a lot better. It was a Jam-Contest. 4 rounds each rider. Viki didnt compete, he was judging. The contest was really cool, good music, and good crowd.
Results:
1st Miguel Monzon(Guelo)
2nd Gilles Van de Sompel
3rd Álvaro Fernández
4th Alberto Moya
5th Toni Rabanete

Mike S on Mankind
by Martin
|
 Michael Steingraeber has decided to part ways with long time bike sponsor Dragonfly to join team Mankind.
Michael had this to say: "I have been with Dragonfly for over 15 years, working for them, riding for them, designing parts for them. Itīs been a very good time and I am very appreciative for all the support they have given me. I would not be where I am now without them! But everything changes over time, and for me the time has come to walk a different path. I will ride for Mankind Bikes as off now. The much liked Alive frame was the first Flatland product in the Mankind lineup, with more to come in the second half of 2010. Mankind gave me the chance to design a signature Flatland frame. I am happy to let you know my frame will feature the style and quality that all Mankind products are so well known for as well as the functionality that I am looking for in every product I want to use."
